Migrate in weeks, not years

Most AI coding agents are built and optimized for individual developer productivity and require comprehensive oversight to deliver reliable work. A typical enterprise data platform migration requires rewriting thousands of source code files and validating data across tens of thousands of fields - at this scale and complexity, off-the-shelf AI coding agents struggle.

We provide full-service migrations where we configure and oversee the code translation after doing an intake of requirements from your team. As we contractually agree to the delivery timeline and because we evolve our software rapidly, this is the most efficient way to deliver, minimizing the effort required from your team.

Datafold is a technology company that has best-in-class AI software to deliver migrations with a price, timeline, and quality guarantee. Our customers have repeatedly shared that our price and timelines are up to 6x better than the best offers they got from typical SI/service providers. At the same time, as a technology company, Datafold does not provide implementation services, such as education and IT configuration of your environment. We often collaborate with SIs as subcontractors for data platform migration itself, which can simplify procurement if you are already working with an SI.

Great! You can connect your AI agents to Datafold's Data Knowledge Graph to improve their reliability by providing high-quality context. Our Data Migration Agent specializes in migrations at scale and can perform migrations faster and more reliably than developer-driven tools. Using Datafold for your migration frees up your developers to do other impactful work, while Datafold guarantees the migration outcome.

We ensure data quality with value-level validation using Data Diff, a specialized tool that compares data across all rows and columns at any scale and across any relational data source. Data Diff is used within the agentic loop, with discrepancies fed back to the agent to correct. Furthermore, legacy vs. target data diffs are supplied alongside all migrated objects as part of delivery. A convenient UI allows your team to inspect differences and accelerates UAT.

Before and during the migration, we work closely with your team to learn about your target architecture, coding standards, and any other details that should inform the implementation.

We can generate documentation in the desired format (e.g., inline / dbt docs).

The Data Knowledge Graph enables the Datafold Migration Agent to perform deep refactoring of the code while ensuring parity in the datasets consumed by the business. This allows us to simplify the code and implement the target system's best practices.

Datafold guarantees the migration of 100% of the objects in scope. Even if human intervention is needed, we handle it so your team always gets a predictable outcome: a migrated and tested codebase ready for deployment.

For day-to-day migration work, we recommend having one point of contact to coordinate with our team. No development work is required from your team, as we deliver the code in a production-ready state.

1 - Source data available in the target system (or ready to be ingested). 2 - Code exports from the legacy system. 3 - Database connections to legacy and target systems (similar to a BI tool).

Typically, we deliver code as a series of pull requests in your repository, ready to be merged and deployed into production. Each migrated code object is accompanied by a data diff between the legacy and target systems, proving the correctness of the translation.

There are a few important factors to consider: 1 - We align with your team on the target state architecture prior to beginning the migration. 2 - We deliver the migrated code in pull requests, and we recommend that your team review the code prior to merging. We can also incorporate any feedback that way. 3 - Our team works closely with regular syncs with your team, ensuring that everyone is on the same page. 4 - For self-serve knowledge transfer, we provide the MCP interface to the Data Knowledge Graph that enables your coding agents to get context on both legacy and target systems.

Our pricing is based on the number of code objects (e.g., views, stored procedures, ETL workflows) and the project's overall complexity. We typically provide a quote after we know the scope, and once agreed on, the price is contractually guaranteed, with no chance of increases due to billable hours or "time and materials".

Depending on the complexity, the migration can take anywhere from four weeks to several months. While the actual code translation is fast, most of the time is spent on IT/Security aspects such as deployment, database connectivity, access provisioning, etc.
